Much To Do About Writing.
This is my journal about my experiences and thoughts on writing, with particular reference to writing for children and the education market, but maybe a few other things mixed in.

Letters in the Sand

Imagine how overjoyed I was to see my books being
recommended on the Letters in the Sand website created by Caitlin, who is a mother of two and has experience as an
educator in both public and private schools, as well as the being
a home-schooling parent and teaching in community educational
playgroups.

These particular books were written for QED Publishing and are illustrated by Sue Hendra. They were designed to help children to distinguish between different shapes. The emphasis is on making learning fun. In the book s I use the environment to reinforce what the reader sees to help them recognise shapes by using familiar, everyday objects in the world around them.

In the United States it is possible to buy all four books in
one volume, entitled Shapes Around Me and published by Scholastic.

I write illustrated children's fiction and non-fiction and teacher resources for primary school. I also have two regular monthly columns in the national writing magazine, Writers' Forum, one about writing for children and the other about writers and their research. I teach creative writing and do lots of school visits.
